Hi Andy,

Always loved your Ironman and am going to try the new beta.

Couple quick questions

Did you work off the new 1106i database or fix database errors in old ironman?

For example I did a quick load to find Perth still missing the 3 pt repair shipyard.

2) Did you tamper more with Individual unit strengths (dont want to be a spoiler) or work on more AI scripts and adding needed units? (i dont want to spoil myself by looking in depth)

The reason I ask is units were strong enough in old ironman.

Thanks

Pat

I just started this Ironman V3 scenario. I notice that the chinese base Ansi is missing, which seems to eliminate te ability of the Hami I-16s to eventually fly out of their starting place. Is this an oversight, or am I supposed to divine a new way to rescue those planes?

thanks

I don't know the answer for certain, but Ansi is in scenario 1 and has been for some time. It was in my original digital download install from sept 2010 for what thats worth. I now use the latest beta.
Its the road/trail junction at 80,33 south of Hami

bump for my question about the disposition of Chinese base "Ansi". any word?


thanks

Any reply from Andy regarding following?

Thanks

Gents -

Into which folder do I extract the AI files from this thread? Am embarrassed to say that I am not sure, so will ask the Big Boys.. <grin>.

Andy - after reading all that you have done to make the AI most wicked, I am going to give it a go - Thank You Sir!

Edit: Well, found it - in the scenario folder, matching the scenario, of course. Until now, I have not experimented with the AI files, so - something new learned every day!

no i didnt update Ansi or Perth will need to pick that up for v5 whnever I get time

A little tampering mostly on naval and air side

Hans pointed me to this thread. I haven't played any of the Ironman scenarios yet, but I might give this version a go.

Bumping it while I recover files

It's been so long since I played scenario 1 that I can't remember is this base is present in that scenario.

I can tell you that it has never been present in Ironman, either the released version or this beta version.

You can get the I15s out of that remote base in the hinterlands by moving a base force from further away to an intermediate base location they can reach for a stage out, but the I16s are stuck there forever. The only way to get the squadrons out is to withdraw them, lose the planes (planes you probably wouldn't use for anything but training anyway) and reform the squadrons in 60 days (they arrive in Chungking with no planes).
